Original: Foreshadowing

[dorkpie]

Title: Foreshadowing
Challenge/Prompt: #10 Fate
Original Fiction
Characters/Pairings: Santiago/Jason, Michael
Rating: PG
Warnings: M/M relationship? Other than that, nothing...
Disclaimer: Mine.
Summary: Michael saw this coming years ago.
Author's Notes: Part of this universe. Which is, imo, getting too big. D:


"I spent the night at Santi's," Jason tells him on a Sunday morning, his voice sounding foreign over the speaker. "He's making some weird Mexican shit for breakfast."

Jason sounds disgusted, but Michael, who has spent his entire life deciphering the sum and all his parts, knows that what Jason isn't saying is more important than the words coming out of his mouth.

He also knows that Jason has never stayed long enough for someone to cook him breakfast.

This has been a long time coming, Michael thinks, closing his eyes, and practicing a smile that doesn't betray his bitterness.

Ooo-- such bitterness indeed. @__@

I can totally relate. <3

[dorkpie]

I was actually really worried about that bitterness coming through right. D:

And, urgh: me too. This was actually inspired by RL events.

[rebelliouswhitequeen]

D: yeah, it's hard to pull off a certain kind of feeling in fics. Last monday, I wrote this thing for the ygo fandom, and I was so frustrated with it, that I lost my point @__@ and after just posting it yesterday, I finally remembered just what I was trying to express in the first place. XD lol.

D: D: /pets/ Well, to tell you the truth, a lot of the original drabbles I wrote here are all inspired by RL events.

[dorkpie]

...In that paragraph, you just described exactly what I was going through when I wrote something for a challenge last month. DX

I try not to write anything too close to RL events, but sometimes they're the best ideas, y'know? :/

[rebelliouswhitequeen]

Oh, and that same fanfic of mine? I ended up deleting it this morning because I just realized how very very flawed it was. Gaaaaaaaah. @__@ so yes, I can totally understand. /patpat/

D: yeah, they are, but maaan, sometimes, they just hit too close to home. X.x

[dorkpie]

You deleted it (from your hdd or just the post)? D: D: You can always make it better!

Yeah, I totally relate. :/ Sometimes when I'm writing I forget myself, and then when I re-read I realize I crossed the line from projecting right into therapeutic. When I write a scene that I've been through, it feels like I'm both letting it go and holding on. Gah, IDEK.

On a totally unrelated note: I abandoned Crisis Core a few months back, but while talking to you I decided to get back into it. So while packing to go to my mom's house for a week, I take everything I need to play it (player's guide, psp, psp charger, usb cable). Anyway, today I sit down on the couch, ready to start the game over, when I realize that I forgot the actual game at home. LOL?

[rebelliouswhitequeen]

Just from the post-- I'll have to figure out another way of writing it. I'll let it rest in my harddrive for a while.

Ooo, exactly! It's kind of like...venting. You vent and vent and you let go, but when you vent, you end up thinking about what made you vent in the first place, and then you just vent even more and it's a big, ridiculous cycle. @__@

XDD!! /giggles/ That... sucks. XDDD Speaking of handheld games-- there's Roxas's game for the DS, I think. D: I also do not have a DS, so sadness. @__@

[dorkpie]

I thought you deleted it from your hdd for a second there. Good thing you didn't! :D Like I said, you can always make it better.

YES. That's the perfect term for it! D: D:

I- I'm not going to get started on that. Let me just say I am really, REALLY, really looking forward to 358/2 when it's released in the US. 8D~ ♥

[rebelliouswhitequeen]

Yup. In the meantime, I'll write drabbles. XDDD

I think, at this point, it's just better to let things pass. Like, there were times where, somebody pissed me off or something, but later on, I completely forgot about it 'cause life's so hectic and stuff. XDDDD

@___@ I'll read the scripts once that comes out. :D

[dorkpie]

Y'know, drabbles are so awesome. Their the perfect solution for when you don't want to bother writing something longer. xD;;

That is so classic. xD Great way to cheat stress though. :P I don't know whether it's because I'm a scorpio (I don't usually put as much stock in it as my stepmom dows) or something, but once I get mad it tends to simmer for a while.

Lol, or watch it all on youtube. (8 The internet is so awesome like that. ♥

[rebelliouswhitequeen]

XD yup. A good way to hone the skills. =D

Yah, I can understand. Just today, I actually realized, oh, I can really let this stuff go, and so I did. XD

XD oh yeah, XDDD

[dorkpie]

RL. Sucks. )8 )8

Oh, definitely! :D It's really taught me to conserve words, and not over-explain (which I'm known for, sometimes).

Hey hey, do you mind if I add you? :D I'd really like to get to know you.

[rebelliouswhitequeen]

/patpat

It's funny, I have the opposite problem. XD I tend to not explain enough. XD

XD I don't mind! I'll add you too, if you don't mind. XDDD

[dorkpie]

I used to have that problem, too. I just kept telling myself "adjective, adjectives, adjectives" and now it's like word-vomit whenever I try to describe something.

:D :D I always ask, just in case. ♥ Don't mind at all~

[rebelliouswhitequeen]

For me, it wasn't really so much not having a lot of adjectives-- it's just, I have a really hard time describing and saying what I really mean. One of my writing friends said maybe I was getting too specific, but... I dunno. o_O

X3 <3

[dorkpie]

Ahh, I know what you mean. Kind of. :/ That's like, a writing paradox/cycle. Um. Paradoxycle? <__<

[rebelliouswhitequeen]

/giggles/ x3

[dorkpie]

I-it's a word! XD;;
